1. A preventatively acting vehicle safety system, wherein:

  • safety devices are preventatively actuated as a function of information recorded by a driving situation detection device by means of a driving state sensor system;

    said information is evaluated in a data evaluation device, by comparing it with at least one triggering threshold value to identify a lateral dynamics-critical driving situation;

    the safety devices are preventatively actuated when the at least one triggering threshold value is exceeded;

    the at least one triggering threshold value is adjusted to account for the lateral dynamics-critical driving situation as a function of vehicle acceleration and a vehicle speed; and

    the vehicle acceleration is a total vehicle acceleration composed of longitudinal and lateral acceleration values, wherein the lateral dynamics-critical driving situation is an understeer or oversteer.
